POC Octal Mips Helmet

The MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) is a low-friction layer inside the helmet that allows for a sliding motion of 10-15mm in all directions. This is designed to reduce the rotational motion transferred to the brain during angled impacts, which is a common cause of concussion.

Yes, the Octal is specifically engineered for high-intensity rides in warm conditions. It features large, strategically placed ventilation ports that maximize airflow to keep your head cool during long climbs or summer efforts.

The helmet includes an integrated 'eye garage' located in the front vents. You can slide the arms of your sunglasses into these dedicated slots, which are designed to hold them securely in place even when you're riding over bumps.

The helmet uses a precise dial-fit system at the back that allows you to tighten or loosen the cradle around the base of your skull. Combined with the adjustable chin straps, you can customize the fit to ensure the helmet remains stable and doesn't shift while you're riding.

The weight varies slightly by size to maintain structural integrity: the Small weighs 250g, the Medium is 270g, and the Large is 300g. It is designed to be lightweight enough to prevent neck fatigue during long hours in the saddle.
